The DU links that I provide may include some reasonable posts explaining various situations better than what media reporters do for work these days, although some questionable posts and link within the the threads might appear too, but DU website censors those as best possible.

>What the media wanted you to think: A group of teens come up to a poor old Native American
>Veteran, mocking him, staring him down, wouldn't get out of his way,

Most folks can operate beyond the knee jerk reaction and knew there had to be more that would appear in another a day or two of why events happened. I waited to see how events played out before posting.

>What actually happened: The teens were waiting by the Lincoln Memorial for their bus
>since they were there for the Right to Life Rally. Near them was an actual hate group,
>the Black Hebrew Israelites, making racial and homophobic remarks...

The Israelites (never heard of them before....probably east coast thing) were always spouting crazy racist nonsense as I understand when reading comments from those on east coast (DC, NY, Philly). Black version of Westboro Baptist church crazies.

Others there that day heard the Israelites nonsense and knew better to stay away after exchanging verbal arguments. Even the Native Americans knew these guys were nonsense after hearing their stupid stuff before the Native Americans then did their own ritual performance (protest).

A bit more about the BHI group and yes they are a definite nuisance to Hasidic Jews in various parts of northeast region according to one poster.

I lived most of my life in NYC. These are the guys who confront Jewish people and scream at them for "being fake Jews". Had it happen to myself numerous times.

I believe their main cultural activity to be looking for Hasidic old men (or kids) off on their own and beating the crap out of us for the crime of being Jewish. (There are numerous recent videos of their cultural outings.)

The video from one of the Israelites shows the kids somewhat closing in on the Israelites who did have their table and free speech zone already in place. If there was a rumble that did take place and any of the boys did get injured. Again the Catholic church organization would be sued by parents and the high school held liable as well because the chaperones did not do their respective job of keeping kids away from causing any trouble.

Two things missing: The chaperones did not do their job of moving the boys school kids along and away from the Israelites who did already have their established free speech zone already in place as allowed. They were not supposed to move to another location without permission from parks services from what I recall reading.

If no shutdown (another issue itself), then police or park services would have likely intervened and prevented things from getting more out of hand and we would not be watching the events that were captured on video.

It is odd that the same sentiment is not shared towards high school shooting victims (Marjorie S. Douglas High in FL) of last year's school shooting when some were protesting about lack of legislation within the FL boundaries dealing with semi-automatic guns (background checks and other reasonable legislation).

High school senior David Hogg and his family as well as other fellow classmates (a few of them also outspoken as well) from his school were also targeted. They wanted something done within Florida only iirc, and GOP activists whether instate or nation wide going after them with harassments or threats.

Three such examples of right wing side going after either former students (now voting adults), a father of one of the victims, and a crazy lunatic from CA doing some threatening from the west coast.

Replying to @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump

Fred Guttenberg: When my daughter was murdered in Parkland, your father tweeted the day we buried her blaming her murder on the Russia investigation. It was a known lie. The left did not make her murder about Russia, your dad did. Perhaps, instead of blaming the left, get your dad of Twitter.

Aside from the public doxing stuff and the high school temporarily closed for a day or two, there probably won't be any other trouble since the catholic school boys are 'heroes'.

As for the Kenucky all boys Catholic school, time for that school to be transformed by Cincinnati region Archdiocese and include more ethnic students that are Catholic, and maybe become coed instead like other Catholic high schools. Then that way maybe the school won't act and maybe be mistaken for a US civil war confederate school that would make famous confederate officer Nathan Bedford Forrest proud of.

Opinions from those familiar with past experiences dealing with the Kentucky high school that show the makeup of the school.
